Unclog the Drain by using 100 ft Long snake

To unclog a drain using a 100 ft long snake, follow these steps:

  1. Prepare the Area: Put on protective gear such as gloves and safety goggles. Clear the area around the drain for easy access.

  2. Insert the Snake: Feed the snake into the drain slowly, ensuring it goes in straight and smoothly. Push it in until you feel resistance, indicating it's reached the clog.

  3. Rotate the Snake: Once the snake is in place, rotate it clockwise using the handle. This motion helps the snake break up the clog and push it through the drain.

  4. Push and Pull: While rotating, gently push the snake further into the drain. If you encounter significant resistance, try pulling the snake back slightly before pushing it in again. This back-and-forth motion can help dislodge stubborn clogs.

  5. Continue Until Clear: Keep rotating and pushing the snake into the drain until you no longer feel resistance. This indicates that the clog has been cleared, and the snake has passed through the pipe freely.

  6. Withdraw the Snake: Slowly retract the snake from the drain, continuing to rotate it as you pull it out. This action helps to remove any debris that may have been caught on the snake.

  7. Flush the Drain: After removing the snake, flush the drain with hot water to ensure that any remaining debris is washed away.

  8. Inspect and Repeat if Necessary: Check the drain to ensure that it is fully clear. If the clog persists, you may need to repeat the process or consider using a different method to unclog the drain.

  9. Clean Up: Dispose of any debris properly and clean up the area around the drain.

Remember to use caution when using a snake to unclog a drain, and if you're unsure or encounter difficulties, it's best to contact a professional plumber for assistance.
